    Thank you so much. I am knitting knockers for Charity , and when it came to the 2 purling rounds, I always had 2 loose purls at each end of the magic loop. Now I can handle the purls easily. Awesome tip. Thanks again !

    Wow, what a neat technique! Thanks for sharing! I haven't done very much color work because I have struggled so much with getting the same tension on both strands in the past, but once I solve that issue, this will make for a much cleaner result to solve for any of these other issues. Do you frequently turn the work right side out in order to confirm that things are looking okay? I can imagine that it might be easy to miss a mistake if you don't have quite as much visibility of the work on the larger scale since much of it is hidden from view. Thanks again!

    • @socalknitgirl
      @socalknitgirl 4 місяці тому

      I really don't turn it right side out very often. Mostly I do it when I want to admire the progress LOL

    Actually it is *much HARDER* to use the pony cord on larger needles. The tiny opening in the pony bead cord is nearly impossible to get on a larger needle tip. If you manage to successfully get the needle tip into the tiny hole, the cord slides off repeatedly as you try to slide it through the stitches. The cord *does* come in larger diameters - with larger holes that will accommodate larger needles. I is rather difficult to find in small quantities.

    Love your video. Is there a way to take any chart and turn it into a slip mosaic knit pattern?

    • @wendyg7436
      @wendyg7436 4 місяці тому

      Unfortunately no, because mosaic has some limitations. You are only working with one color on each row, and you can only slip a small number of sts in sequence before your floats get too long. I've heard of knitters doing standard 2-color colorwork charts by doing each row in two passes - knitting the stitches of one color and slipping the other color. This doesn't allow for good float management though, and honestly would take twice as long as doing standard colorwork, for which there are several techniques.

    Gosh, Wendy - all these years I've "known" you and I never once suspected you were a thrower and not a picker. Now I'm **really** impressed by all the sweaters you churn out! Also I didn't realize the snowflake pattern socks were mosaic - I can do mosaic, no problemo. I was checking on M-I-T-R for another sock I saw on Rav. Your snowflake pattern will give me another one to knit! Is there anything special about starting toe-up with MITR? Can I pop in any heel I like? Or is there a heel you recommend?

  • @carolsamuelson4082
    @carolsamuelson4082 Рік тому

    hope someone can answer me. Like many, I'm new to mosaic so don't know quite how to figure things out. Is a round the entire number of stitches on both the back and front needles or is a round the number of stitches on one needle when working in Magic Loop? Page 2 of the instructions say to knit four rounds after completing the cuff, so that was 56, 64 or 72 stitches per round. The Set up round for the Mystery Sock Clue #2 is where I became confused. It says on Set Up Round 2 to Sl1, then k to end of round. Same on Set Up Round 4. Do I slip the first stitch on the front needle and on the back needle, like you do on the pg 3 chart, or do I slip the first stitch on the first needle and knit the other 55, 63 or 71 sts? What exactly are we calling a round in this case?

    • @socalknitgirl
      @socalknitgirl Рік тому

      Hello Carol! A round is defined as all the stitches on both needles - the full number of sts that you cast on. The rounds that start with a slipped st are done that way to reduce the visibility of the "jog" that occurs due to the color change. When you do those rounds, you slip the first st in the round, and then knit all the remaining sts on both needles. Hope this helps!
